  [müzik & sözler: d. ott]
  
  hey, what do you want from me?
  as far as i can see
  there's really nothing you get for free
  hey, are you dense or just unaware
  when you know the one that's there
  could care less if you even breathed
  there's nothing up my sleeve
  yet i'm the one deceived
  
  swallow your pride and choke down the pills
  keep it inside and drink to your fill
  you push it aside, still waiting
  for your ship to finally come ashore
  just one more drop in the downpour to ignore
  
  i know there's a heavy cost
  if compromise isn't tossed
  your dreams can be completely lost
  still afraid of change
  and i'm the one to blame
  
  swallow your pride and choke down the pills
  keep it inside and drink to your fill
  you push it aside, still waiting
  for your ship to finally come ashore
  just one more drop in the downpour to ignore
  
  you sit and sate out the window
  searching for winds of change
  meanwhile.the rest of the herd
  has much greener grass on their range
  
  you hide in a chasm of pride
  too proud to dig yourself out
  heartache to the point where you break
  wake up and scream and shout
  
  hey, what do you believe?
  in dogma and chemistry
  or a psychedelic philosophy?
  when damaging your soul
  you pay a heavy toll
  
  swallow your pride and choke down the pills
  keep it inside and drink to your fill
  you push it aside, still waiting
  for your ship to finally come ashore
  just one more drop in the downpour to ignore
  
  still you do nothing about it
  you're playing tug of war
  still you do nothing about it.
• aynı zamanda deyimsel bir anlamı da vardır.
  
  iki etkenin, birbirleriyle başka bir üçüncü şey için "çekişme" halinde oldukları durumlara binaen kullanılır.
• halat çekilerek oynanan çocuk oyunu. ayrıca bir paul mccartney şarkısı. sözleri böyleyken böyle:
  
  it’s a tug of war
  what with one thing and another
  it’s a tug of war
  we expected more
  but with one thing and another
  we were trying to outdo each other in a tug of war
  in another world,
  in another world we could
  stand on top of the mountain with our flag unfurled
  in a time to come,
  in a time to come we will be
  dancing to the beat played on a different drum
  
  it’s a tug of war
  though i know i mustn’t grumble
  it s a tug of war
  but i can’t let go
  if i do you’ll take a tumble
  and the whole thing is going to crumble
  it’s a tug of war
  
  pushing pushing, pulling pulling
  pushing and pulling
  
  in years to come they may discover
  what the air we breathe and the life we lead are all about
  but it won’t be soon enough
  soon enough for me
  no, it won’t be soon enough
  soon enough for me
  
  in another world we couid
  stand on top of the mountain with our flag unfurled
  in a time to come we will be
  dancing to the beat played on a different drum
  
  we will be dancing to the beat
  played on a different drum
  we will be dancing to the beat
  played on a different drum
  
  it’s a tug of war, a tug of war
  a tug of war
  what with one thing and another
  it’s a tug of war
  we expected more
  but with one thing and another
  in a tug of war
  
  pushing pushing, pulling pulling
  pushing and pulling
